Israel and EU Clash Over Settlements


By Mel Frykberg

"RAMALLAH, Jul 13 (IPS) - The Israeli Foreign Ministry's concern over an "unusually harsh statement" by the European Commission over Israel's settlement policy indicates a growing unease between Israel and the EU.....

Peace Now says the Israeli government is building an additional 73,300 illegal housing units in the West Bank.

Barak's manner in dealing with the small outpost of Migron portends poorly for Israel's future evacuation of larger settlements, and represents a huge disparity between Israeli diplomacy and the reality on the ground. "
